Imagery

Look at me, what do you see?
I see a girl standing tall
Look at me, who do You see?
I see a girl who’s wonderful

Sometimes we look in the mirror
Not liking what we see
But then You chime into our thoughts
And let me know that You love me

We stand outside the door
Not wanting to go in
Everyone is watching
So we put on our plastic grin

Standing up during worship
While praising Your Holy name
We stifle our emotions
To express them would look lame

You weren’t afraid of anything
Not even when crucified
If You can endure grief
Why must I pretend to be dignified?

Looking in the mirror
I want to see Your face
Because You’re the only one I seek
Living with You there is no disgrace
